Hello All:

I've been working for two days trying to find a way to change the
font name selected places in a book.

Basically, what I want to do is set the Chapter and all Section
Headings in Palatino, and the rest of the text in Times.

I have no problems changing the font to Times in the Preamble.
However, I've not been able to come up with a way to use Palatino in
the Chapter title and Headings.  I thiuight that I might be able to
use a \newenvironment approach, but everything I've tried has failed.


I've looked at the LyX docs and several LaTeX books too, and they
don't mention anything about this.

I'm I trying to do something impossible, or does someone out there
know how to implement this change.

See http://web.image.ufl.edu/help/latex/fonts.shtml (look for "Changing
